I bought this at a recommendation of a friend because I would style my hair with blow dryer and brush in the morning and it would lose a lot of its style by midday. She said a hot brush would be easier to use and that the style would last better. She was so right. The hot brush locks in the style better. The slight curl under at the bottom of my bob is easier to create and stays longer. The hot brush is also great for a touch up if I am going out at the end of the day. It also makes my hair look fuller.
This is my third one of these. The first one lasted over 2 years which I was very happy with. Very disappointed that the 2nd one barely lasted a year. Have had this one for a few months with no issues yet.
